-That has nothing to do with trading. If you just sit there not making trades you will be left in the dust. Making trades is key for adjusting and adapting to different situations as the season goes on.

hehe yea...my team is pretty stacked. There is one other team that is pretty good too. Me and him have been battling it out for 1st and 2nd for a while now. It's only a matter of time before I take 1st for good though. Can't wait until FJ comes back. The other 8 people in my league are all competing for 3-10th place lol.

Here's some of my trades that I made:

Renteria/Pierre for Nomar
Prior for RJ (before he got hurt)
Smoltz for Prior
Javier Vazqeuz/Zambrono for Mags
Moyer/Winn for Berkman
Matsui for Maddux
AJ Burnett for Wade Miller (long time ago)
Mags/Martinez/Maddux for Thome/Berkman/Meche
Sweeney/Payton for Sosa
Sosa/Meche for Zito

My team revolves around trading. I lead my ($$$$) league in trades every single year. You have to be smart, nice, say the right things, don't overhype players or else the good players won't take you seriously so just be honest about everything but bring out the most convincing parts of your honesty.
